It's better than Fox, MSNBC or CNN. Although Keith Olbermann can be hilarious at times.
I've also seen Ron Paul and the President of the LP on C-SPAN; something I can't say about the big media.
Full Version: C-SPAN doesn't suck

Actually, most of here think C-Span is great . They just pissed us off when they suddenly shut down their message forum, thus the birth of this site.
Olby's a hoot alright. Especially when O'Reilly is involved. Jealousy is an ugly thing.

<h3 id="a003700">Two Words That Slander Our Troops</h3> Keith Olbermann's biases are well known. His loathing of Fox. His Olbsession with Bill O'Reilly. His contempt for the current administration, and particularly its efforts in Iraq. The latter has sometimes taken him to the edge of respectable discourse. And while he has left indirect implications that disparage US troops, Keith Olbermann has been careful to avoid leaving fingerprints. Until now. Until the two words that end all doubt about his attitude toward our American servicemen and servicewomen.

I watched the tail end of a Book TV hour long thing with one of the senior editors of Reason magazine Brian Doherty (I know I misspelled it). He said "libertarian" alot. The other half of the interview was a guy from CATO.
Very interesting segment. I hope it's on again.
Here is the thing from C-SPAN's website

Sounds like a good thing to listen to while doing dishes. Maybe later in the afternoon. I wonder if tossing radical on the title is good for a party or group trying to move into the politica arena. We already know how much more likely the media is to label conservatives than liberals. It's subtle, but it has to have an effect used day in and day out.

Much ado about nothing. The troops who insist that we must bow down to the morons who have formulated and executed the Iraq War strategy in order to support them are just confused. And yes, as RoccoR has attested, the amenities for SOME U.S. troops in Iraq are obscene.

It's something. Losing isn't all it's cracked up to be either.
Yeah, well if "winning" means ending up with "conservatives" (whatever the hell that's supposed to mean any more) who govern like socialist libs, what's winning worth??
It's worth the difference between "conservatives" that spend like liberals, and real "liberals".
When Hillary is president and all three branches are in liberal hands you will have a better idea.

The three branches already are in the hands of socialist liberals. It's just that about half of them carry ( R)s next to their names.
At least the Hildabeast is an honest socialist.

I was, of course, speaking politically.

In reality my boss is a woman, but I understand the racist underpinnings of the accusation. Work for the man, be the house content deleted, act white.
But I'm saving money without getting a dime from the government, and if there's no SS and Medicare because politicians spent it all I'm still going to be able to take care of myself unlike the slugs on the dole left-wingers pander to.
Good plan, work independent of gubment on your plan, take advantage of the holes the gubment leaves for you. Voting is mostly an amusement at this point...
